I've followed the site for a while now but this is the first time I have ever posted. I figured I would post my personal timeline plus I need some advice, so here it goes...
Feb. 2012- After 8 surgeries in a year and many calls from CC/First Shirt/Flight Chief etc. I was notified that I would start the MEB process.
Mar. 2012- Met with MEB office to go over everything, was told I would get a call or e-mail to be scheduled to meet with PCM.
Mar. 2012- Had to switch PCM's due to the fact mine was not helpful, gave me ultimatums, a few other reasons.
May 2012- Called MEB office because I was never contacted about a date to meet with PCM. Seemed pretty clueless, and recieved a call that week to set up a date. (Probably because of my PCM switch). Met with PCM and went over everything for a narrative.
June 2012- Was notified I would be undergoing a full MEB. (For L. shoulder chronic pain, limited ROM, etc. after multiple surgeries, DDD,endometriosis/pcos after multiple surgeries... I dont have my paperwork in front of me so I cannot remember what all was on there)
July 2012- Met with VA rep and went over all medical records for claimable items (I think it was 11 items from what I remeber)
Aug. 2012- C&P exams.
Aug. 2012- Reviewed exams, signed paperwork, told my package would go to local board before going to AFPC, etc.
Sep. 2012- Middle of September was informed my package was sent to AFPC.
Since then, I waited until about the middle of OCtober before calling & e-mailing to see if my package had been checked in and to get update...no updates. So I took advice from a couple of psots I have seen and checked in about every other week and hope I get ahold of my PEBLO, which sometimes happens and sometimes not. I still have no information about my package, I do not know if it is at AFPC, if it has been sent to the VA or what. All i get for answers is, "we will call or e-mail you". Half of the time it has taken me calling for updates, in the past, to accomplish these things.
What I am wondering is how long after a package is sent to AFPC is there a fit/unfit decision ( from what I have been seing/reading/hearing from other people is usually 30+/- days for a fit/unfit and it to be sent to the VA). My e-benefits status hasn't changed since July/August so I am not even sure if it has made it to the VA at all.
Thank you everyone!
